It’s amazing how many brutally honest people don’t understand that. ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > This Jennifer bitch said it was a “mistake.” How is that a mistake? She didn’t accidentally make those pictures. There isn’t a “make photoshop mocking little kid” button on the computer that she could have accidentally pressed. There’s a difference between mistakes and accidents. I’ve made mistakes in my life that I’ve jumped into with both feet and a smile on my face. ---

Sounds like she’s contrite on the advice of counsel. People like that don’t just suddenly come to the realization that they’re giant flaming assholes. I bet good money she’s not sorry in the least. 4chan’s response seems a bit underwhelming, unfortunately. The little girl should dress up like a cat. That’ll get them up in arms. ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > There’s a difference between being “brutally honest” and being an asshole. It’s amazing how many brutally honest people don’t understand that. In other words, there’s a reason the word “brutal” is involved in that phrase. I don’t support the death threats and harassment that have gone on now that this is public, but I can’t muster up a ton of sympathy in return. And frankly, I kind of hope some degree of sociopathy is involved, because I’d hate to think that this kind of taunting could come from an adult with even a bit of a conscience. ---

Revenge for what, I wonder? > > The story goes that she’s pissed that her kids were not invited to a birthday party that was happening at the Edward’s home. > > Given that the kids were raised by these two gems, I’m pretty sure I can figure out why they weren’t invited. According to the 2nd linked article, that’s not quite the case. The grandmother was having a birthday party (it doesn’t say for whom), and the bitch asked if her kids could go over and play. The grandmother didn’t respond to the text quick enough. She said “That’s where it all started”, so I’m assuming that there was gradual escalation. And all of this was not to upset the little girl, it was to upset the grandmother. ---

IIRC, 4chan (or someone) published this woman’s address, her employer, her husband’s employer and all such relevant information. I think they are definitely getting their due.

Bulllshit! She’s only sorry she got caught. Anyone with any decency would never even consider such a thing. It’s fair that she get doses of her medicine in return. I’m a bitch with a big mouth too but it’s really lame to pick on someone so defenceless. ---

I’m a bitch with a big mouth too but it’s really lame to pick on someone so defenceless. As per my signature I’m actually a Bitch Queen but I sure as hell don’t go after 7 year old terminally ill children. That would make me a moron, not a bitch. I really hope this woman’s life becomes very, very unpleasant for the next while, and that Kathleen gets some nice things with the money raised for her. ---

Considering she sounds like a sociopath I doubt “living with herself” will be hard. Living with everyone knowing her phone number, address, etc, might be just a tad more difficult. ---
